Another excerpt from "This American Life".... Sarah Vowell tells us about a fan of the Seattle pop-punk band Fastbacks. He''s no ordinary groupie, though, and dedicates as much energy to fandom as many performers devote to their music. "This American Life" airs weekly on public radio stations and is produced by Ira Glass at Chicago''s WBEZ.
